NOTES. 



Ornithological Notes from Dumfriesshire. The following 

 notes from Dumfriesshire may be of interest to your readers : 

 (1) An example of the British Willow -tit (Pants atricapillus 

 kleinschmidti) was shot at Grennan (Penpont) in August 19 12. 

 Another, a very typical specimen, was shot at the same place in 

 January 1913. (2) Three Jays were seen near here on 3rd 

 November 191 2, and for some time after. Latterly only a pair 

 have been seen, but these remained up to the time of writing. I 

 am, of course, unable to say whether these belonged to the 

 British or Continental race, though I should expect the former. 

 (3) Pintails are annually becoming more common at the estuary 

 of the Nith. A fine male has been shot near Kingholm 

 (Dumfries). (4) A female Long-tailed Duck was shot near 

 Glencaple (Caerlaverock) on 14th December 1912. (5) A Golden 

 Plover with white primaries and with a good many white feathers 

 on its body, was shot near Byreholm (Keir), at the end of October.
